Question
) Print a copy of the worksheet and get a light brown or green coloring pencil. Locate the 0 elevation contour line and color all the area above sea level this is elevation greater than 0. Positive values indicate above sea level, negative values below sea level. So now you can see the island of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Trough or Trench as well as the Hawaiian Islands. These depth values are in meters.
) Find the highest positive values Max elevation and Max depth highest negative values found across the straight lines (vertical cross sections) across the contour lines. This thick straight line is the line of the vertical section or profile. These sections depict the variation in elevation along the line. The panels: A, B, C and D are their graphic representations.
) To select which cross section is the right one look for the starting height or water depth at the beginning and end of the lines. Then look in between too!
1.Between what 2 depths would you experience the greatest slope (2 pts)? __ and ______

STEP 1
From this conture maps we can say that the full area within the 0 conture line have elevation grater than mean sea level. Positive values indicate above sea level, negative values below sea level. So now you can see the island of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Trough or Trench as well as the Hawaiian Islands. These depth values are in meters.
STEP 2
the highest positive values Max elevation is 500 m and Max depth highest negative values is -8000 m found across the straight lines (vertical cross sections) across the contour lines. This thick straight line is the line of the vertical section or profile. These sections depict the variation in elevation along the line. The panels: A, B, C and D are their graphic representations.
STEP 3
B cross section is the right one look for the starting height or water depth at the beginning and end of the lines
STEP 4
the contur line between -6000 to -3000 and -1000 to 0 are the greatest slope (here the points are intersection point of contur line and red line )
